Light Pistachio vs Ammonite
Where Light Pistachio belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Light Pistachio reads as green, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Light Pistachio (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Ammonite (LRV 69), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Light Pistachio runs green while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
